Summary

Resourceful Furniture Finisher with experience staining, painting and upholstering furniture pieces. Expert at using various tools and materials to create desired results. I have background knowledge of your products and can assist with advice. I have a strong eye for detail and presentations, which will help assist me with displays.

I have worked in teams and autonomously and can do both well, I have great interpersonal skills and can get along with anyone and build rapport easily.

I am extremely hard working, not afraid of physical or hard work. Working in the hospitality industry over the years has given me a sort of toughness when it comes to physical endurance as you are on your feet for hours and sometimes there is no time for a break especially around the holiday season.

As for my computer skills I have worked 3 years in administration and can easily find my way around the computer, I am a fast learner when it comes to new software.
